Tasting Note

The Black Swan Sauvignon Blanc 2020 is a pure expression of the Steenberg terroir and shows notes of nettle, gunflint, elderflower and fynbos on the nose, while the palate supports the aromas with fresh lemon zest and subtle hints of stone fruit and asparagus. A mouth-watering acidity accompanies a full and long finish achieved with extended lees contact in tank. This is a wonderful food wine and will reward cellaring of between 10 – 20 years.

Product Notes

Steenberg Black Swan Sauvignon Blanc is a wine that embodies elegance and complexity in every sip. Crafted by Steenberg winery in South Africa's Constantia Valley, this wine is made using only the finest grapes handpicked from their estate vineyards. The wine's pale straw color reveals its crisp acidity and bright flavors of tropical fruits, especially passionfruit, guava, and kiwi. The palate is further enhanced with subtle spicy notes and a minerality that adds a refreshing finish. The name Black Swan represents the winery's commitment to producing exceptional wines that are unique and rare. Savor Steenberg Black Swan Sauvignon Blanc with light seafood dishes, salads, and grilled vegetables for a perfect pairing experience.

About the Winery

Steenberg

Simon van der Stel granted Catharina Michelse's request in 1682 for a plot of land near the Ou Kaapse Weg by leasing her 25 Morgen. This is how the illustrious progenitor came into control of what is today known as Steenberg. Frederik Russouw purchased the land in 1695 and erected the U-shaped residence. From 1765 through 1801, Nicolaas and his wife owned the property. Daniel purchased the property after Nicolaas' death in 1802, and Johannes Adriaan Louw of Fisantekraal afterwards purchased it. Nicolaas Louw, the son of Johannes Adriaan, had a deep love for Steenberg. When he passed away in 1976, his three children shared in the property's inheritance because he entered farming right out of school. The Louw family still owned Steenberg up until 1990, when Johannesburg Consolidated Investments bought it and transformed it into the magnificent hotel and winery it is today.
